Iraq PM dismisses the position of VP and dep PM

Iraq's Prime Minister Haider al-Abbadi has issued a decree cancelling the country's deputy president positions and deputy PM positions.

Abbadi held a meeting on Friday evening with a number of experts and advisers to discuss the administrative and financial reforms in his new bid to tackle corruption in the country.

A statement on Sunday on the PM's Facebook page said that Abbadi will investigate corruption, reappoint all senior officials based on professional rather than sectarian standards, and reduce the number of security personnel protecting senior officials in order to cut down on waste.
